A richly compelling tale of folklore and witchcraft from this modern master, new to Penguin Modern Classics
Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904--91) was the author of many novels, stories, children's books, and a memoir. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978.
A burningly radiant, intensely beautiful book. Singer is answering
his age like a prophet

intensity of the love of simple folk close to nature ... it's a
beautiful story
*Terence de Vere White*
The tale is tragic and warmhearted, full of mellow wisdom learned
through suffering
